Positioning large figures in LaTeX
Question:
I have a full-page figure that LaTeX keeps putting at
the end. I would like to have it integrated on a
separate page in the flow of text. What can I do?
Answer:
LaTeX usually requires a certain minimum of text on
each regular page. The maximum fraction of space
assigned to figures is set by \topfraction (in
single-column mode, or \dbltopfraction (in
double-column mode). You can change this fraction
with
\renewcommand{\topfraction}{1.0}
for single column mode, and
\renewcommand{\dbltopfraction}{1.0}
for double column mode.
